Obama’s War On Men: Media Rattled By Women Reporters At Press Conference

President Obama held his last press conference (CSPAN video here) for 2014 on Friday. It being a volatile time in the world there were questions that reflected the many serious issues facing the nation and the world. They spanned from North Korea to Cuba to tax reform to Keystone XL to race relations. But you’ll never guess what the media focused on at the conclusion of the affair.

Apparently, the breaking news that sprung out of the press conference was that Obama only called on women journalists. That fact trumped everything else that was said about the other major issues of the day. The very first comment by Gretchen Carlson of Fox News after the event ended was about the gender makeup of the questioners. She also found it curious that Obama didn’t call on any reporters in the first row where the TV network correspondents sit.

Funny, I don’t recall ever hearing anybody take note that only men asked questions in prior press conferences. Particularly back when there weren’t any women at all in the White House press corps (with the exception of Helen Thomas). But for some reason this was regarded as newsworthy and even historic.

There was a clear implication that Obama had deliberately orchestrated this in order to advance his “War on Men.” Plus, the pundit class seems to believe that women would ask less confrontational questions. That’s an opinion that also extends to the reporters sitting behind the network stars in the first row.

To be fair, it wasn’t just Fox News. Other networks and numerous print news outlets made the same observation. But what sets Fox apart are the comments on their Fox Nation website that castigate this “gender discrimination” as more proof that Obama is weak, or gay, or committed to destroying God’s natural order of white, male, Christian supremacy. And that ugliness ought to be more newsworthy than the gender scoring that the self-obsessed media is engaging in.

  1. Prejudice and sexism takes many forms.

  2. I want to know when the Fox Christians are going to take Walmart and others to task for daring to be open on their holy holiday (oh, sorry, O’Reilly, CHRISTMAS) when employees should be home worshipping the baby Jesus. I somehow haven’t heard any angst about places being open on Christmas Day. I propose that the real War on Christmas is coming from the right, which worships the almighty dollar far more fervently than they worship their God.
    And about the presser. Good for the President. As usual, he managed to get Fox in a stew over nothing, making them look as petty and stupid as they are.

  3. Wouldn’t Obama be sort of stupid if he didn’t want to reverse white male supremacy?

  4. Another worthless thread from Mark. It did NOT become the most important think about the press conference; Gretchen Carlson and other news anchors simply made note of it.

    “…makes news for letting women ask questions…”
    A silly headline. It could also have read. “…makes news for refusing to take questions from any men…”

    This another news conference where hardly any questions were asked at all. That’s because President Obama doesn’t believe in giving answers that are concise, short and to the point. They call that running out the clock.

  5. I’m putting on my FoxNewz Virtual Reality Helmet before watching the press conference. Now then, what’s really going on here…?

    Pres. Obama: Yo yo yo! Where all da white wimmen at?

    Female Media: Here, Mister President!

    Pres. Obama: Daaaamn! Got some fine lookin’ white wimmins up in dis!

    Female Media: Oooooh, Mister President! (fluttering eyelashes)

    White Male Media: Prezdunt Obummer, what is this about a War on Men in Media?

    Pres. Obama: Shut up fool! Don’t make me come down there an’ smack you up in front’a all these ladies!

  6. You are f’k kidding me? Really, so what? Only a dipshart would even make an issue out of it?
